Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Collect, Old Furniture I have endeavoured to trace the changes in style and fashion from Antique to Mediaeval, from Mediaeval to Renaissance, and from Renais sance to Modern, but in the following notes I have attempted to give the reader some descriptions of the various kinds of furniture, made in different countries, from the sixteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century, omitting the earlier periods. As examples of the latter are seldom seen except in museums, they are, for all practical purposes, unobtainable by the collector of ordinary means. I have tried to convey by explanatory hints and suggestions, advice which may enable the reader to select the example of the period he is in search of, and avoid the imitation and the sham.

The Author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to all those who have so kindly permitted the illustration of pieces of furniture from their collections, and especially to Mr. Percival D. Griffiths, who has been more than generous in this respect. His thanks are also due to Mr. J. De Haan, for some valuable information concerning recipes used by the imitator; to Mr. Cooper of Messrs. Cooper 65 Humphries, for his care and skill in photographing most of the examples illustrated; and, finally, to Mr. J. H. Elder-duncan and Mr. J. Chichele Plowden, for their suggestions during the compilation and revision of the manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chippendale and His School The present volume deals with the period in the commencement of which mahogany was first employed in England in the manufacture of furniture - approximately in the first quarter of the eighteenth century (after the death of Queen Anne). For approaching two hundred years, therefore, it has sustained its popularity, and its position is still unchallenged. Certainly in the nineteenth century metal was very generally used in the making of bedsteads, but in these later days mahogany is again frequently employed for this purpose. A very large quantity of genuine old mahogany furniture has survived to this day, and it is often described in general terms as Chippendale. The number of chairs alone seriously and deliberately described as Chippendale is almost innumerable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The patinated condition, in fact, constitutes not only a hall-mark, but an added beauty, just as an old-fashioned lawn excels all those of modern creation, given similar conditions and surroundings. T\this falling short may be due to one or more of a host of reasons. The example may have been neglected or have stood in a damp or an exposed position, such as a stable, a barn, or an outhouse, and in mentioning this it IS cui'ious how old Jacobean chests, for instance, are frequently found in stables acting as corn-bins.

The study of our domestic furnishing as it was prior to the end of the sixteenth century belongs rather to the field of remote antiquarian research, which interests but comparatively few people, and, on that account, has not been included in the present volume.
